How to be a Better Boy Mom

August 11, 2020 · In: Motherhood

One of the best things about raising boys is they are super fun! My boys are very chill and keep me on the go. They are 8 years apart so I have to be intentional about being sure to focus on their individual needs. These are a few things I have learned about raising boys and the things I do to be a better boy mom.

Learn to speak their language

One of the things I have learned raising my boys is that they communicate differently. While I love going in depth with how I feel and my opinions, my sons are much more reserved about theirs. Even when I ask they are concise. Especially the teenager.

I have learned to listen to my boys in a different way though. I’m watching for those moments that they light up with joy about things or prolong certain conversations. That shows me they are interested, open and willing to talk about those topics. Those are the times I listen closest. I have found that in those times I get actual communication. And I get the answers to the things I want, just in a way that works best for them.

Spend quality time with them

I love hanging out with my boys. I feel like the coolest mom on the block when my teenager wants to spend time with me. Me and my boys love to play sports, watch sports and do fun activities together. We’ve gone horseback riding, zip lining, go carting and so much more.

We spend our time together doing things they want to do. I don’t force my ideas on to them. I just want to spend time with them in their happiest moments, not drag them to my ideas of fun.

Learn more about their interest

The goal is the let them know that what they care about is important. And that I want to be a part of what’s interesting and cool to them. Thankfully I love sports so we share that. Then me and my little one could watch Animal Planet and National Geographic together all day. Ultimately I want to learn more about them and the things they care about.

As parents we sometimes plan out kids lives and have this ideas of who we want them to be. I’ve found it more beneficial to introduce things and allow them to lead. If they don’t like it, I don’t push it. I’m always introducing them to new them and like for them to try stuff but if it’s not their thing then we move on.

Snacks, they love snacks

If your boys are anything like mine they like food, especially snacks! My sons have their list ready before I even make the grocery list. My teenager usually has long days with school and practices so he likes to have snacks throughout the day. My favorite thing to do is to pack their favorite snacks in their backpacks for them to find during lunch or after school.

My teenager loves beef jerky and I was recently sent some of the new Chomps beef sticks. He loved them! Now I make sure that I add them to my grocery list so that he can have them on hand. The little one is really into pretzel sticks at the moment so I have to have those too.

This little touch though is just another little way for me to show them I’m listening, I love them and I want to be the best mom I can be for them.

Being a boy mom is the best! Boys often require a different way of communicating but ultimately they are so loving and fun. Being a better boy mom will totally depend on the child but takes listening to your boy and what is best for him.

First off, forget them people! Respectfully… Bu First off, forget them people! Respectfully…

But, I get it!  Most times we lack confidence worrying about other people’s opinion on this or that, but… 

- Stop trying to prove people wrong and prove yourself right! This is about you. You overcoming your fears. You finding the audacity to be great. You pursuing YOUR best life.

- Surround yourself with people that pour into you. Having the right support system is essential. It helps you ignore the noise around you. Join an online group, meetup with positive people local to you.

- Figure out the area you lack confidence in and build yourself up in that area.

- Feel the fear and do it anyway! You gotta just push through. Keep working. Keep showing up. Keep building.

Save this post and reference it when you feel self doubt creeping in.

It’s Monday and I’m prepared to have a product It’s Monday and I’m prepared to have a productive week! 

Here are a few things I do to make sure the business and the babies are setup for success:

- Write down everything I need to get done this week on Sunday. I literally do a brain dump of all the things.

- Then I prioritize these things from most important to least! …because let’s be real I wanna do everything but there’s only so much time in the day 😂 

- Then I schedule the first 3 things in my planner for Monday. I like to see it here and put in Google calendar.

- I plan, shop, and prep all my meals for the week on Sunday too. Because who got time for “What y’all wanna eat?” everyday lol 

- Lastly I’m trying to make room for IG this week because that hasn’t been a priority. But @planoly is coming in clutch for me.

So I’m implementing the strategy: if you fail to plan, you plan to fail! And I’m planning to get it done this week!!!

Share this with an entrepreneur that could use it!

I was tired of paying 2 mortgages in daycare cost, working all day and only seeing them for a few hours in the evening. Then, the hassle I’d get when I needed to take off for them!

#Workingmoms don’t get enough credit!!!! It’s a JOB in itself juggling it all…..let’s not get into the last 2 years. 🙄

My plan was to make it through their daycare days, but I done got out here an built an empire!

Don’t tell me God ain’t good!!

So, yeah. I’m gonna be right here, taking care of my babies.

Working moms, stay at home moms, work at home moms, bonus moms, expectant moms…….all y’all, I see you!
